I don't see the point in living anymore. I can't.
I've called helplines but tonight it's just not helped.
I've spent way too much time in hospital over the years and nothings ever helped.
I just can't anymore

That is great that you have some support tomorrow @The-red-centaur What can you do tonight to look after yourself? Have you done any painting lately?

Some medications can certainly do that to us @The-red-centaur One of the previous ones I was on 'helped' me put on a lot of weight. I am only half way through losing that again but starting to fit into some of my clothes again. It just adds to the negative self-image but it is preferable to the place I was in mentally.
Going to bed early sounds like a good idea. I will most likely be doing the same.
It is a shame you haven't done any painting since Christmas. It has been a couple of months since I have done any myself but being at work hasn't left me much time or energy to do any. I understand fully that you have to be in the right headspace and heartspace to paint.

Oooooh I wish you would not put yourself down.
You have had some terrible experiences.
There are so many idealised images of women in media.
Be kind to yourself. Dont let the superficality "out there" hurt you.
